The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Premiere Delivers Massive Viewership Record for AMC

The Walking Dead franchise has once again proven to be an enormous success for AMC, as the premiere of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live — a spin-off focusing on fan-favorite characters Rick Grimes and Michonne — has delivered a total of 3 million viewers after only three days of viewing. 

According to Nielsen (via Deadline), The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live — which debuted on February 25 — was the biggest premiere night for AMC in six years since The Terror premiered in 2018. The show’s premiere has also garnered a record-breaking viewership number on AMC+, making it the most-viewed episode ever on the streamer. 

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is the sixth and latest spin-off in the TWD saga, with others being Fear the Walking Dead, World Beyond, Tales of the Walking Dead, Dead City, and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is “an epic love story” 

Starring Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes and Danai Gurira as Michonne, the TWD spin-off centers on the tragic love story of the two characters, who are kept apart by distance. 

The official synopsis reads: “The love story of Rick Grimes and Michonne is changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were. Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead… And ultimately, a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other, are they even alive – or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead?”

The six-episode series also stars Pollyanna McIntosh, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Terry O’Quinn, Matthew August Jeffers, Craig Tate, Andrew Bachelor, and more.
